I don't know if I'm missing something here but if I found a wallet near a police station I think I'd hand it in to the police station (unless the station wasn't open of course). I certainly wouldn't want someone else's wallet full of cards in my possession, it might put you in a very uncompromising position. Imagine if one of the cards had been cloned and was used fraudulently while you had the wallet... or maybe I'm just overly paranoid!
It really isn't strange. They are just being helpful. I've dropped my wallet before and some kind gentleman managed to contact me via info in my wallet. I was very grateful. I wouldn't waste police time if I found a wallet. I'd do exactly what sazzel did and try to contact the person and if no luck take it to the bank. There could be many reasons why she hasn't got back to you. Be patient.
Now I'm confused. Gerry's grumpy post has been edited with the words 'mystery solved' replacing what was previously there. Unless I'm imagining things there was a post after that admonishing him. Where's that gone? How was the mystery solved? We need answers.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
